On the stage we draped panels of pink satin fabric, filled the glittered shoe with pink flowers and made a throne for the queen (that was the surprise - one lucky woman was being crowned queen for having the most sales).

Pink tulle and lights lined the stage.

We made the chair from an old 70's wicker peacock fan-back chair!

Isn't it amazing what satin, velvet and tulle can do!﻿

Each table had a satin pink tablecloth and the chairs were tied with a pink organza sash.

The centerpieces were made from hat boxes we sprayed teal and purple, a glittered high heel containing pink paper flowers, tulle, and ribbon!

The crew for the day....

Dad setting out silver chargers - he thought he was just delivering the giant high heel, heh!!

Pat Clemmons fluffing all of our pink tulle!

The room was VERY pink and so perfect for the princess ball, even the favors were pink.

We had such an amazing day at the french market this past Saturday! There were so many wonderful and creative vendors and there was such a variety of vendors! The market was really, really busy and it seemed as though our customers were having an enjoyable day.

This weekend I sold at Kane County Flea Market again. Shoppers are always shocked when they realize Mark and I set everything up in about 2 hours! Mark and I work well together. We don't even speak to each other, we just do our thing and occasionally I'll move things he just set down or he'll move things I just placed - heh! We don't have time to discuss how we are going to display and we NEVER have a plan - we just keep moving until everything is out!
